[Verse 1]
I found my fGmear in the ashes of this tFown as it burned
When the smGmoke entered my lungs, I suffocFated on lessons I learned
Made it Gmout of the fire, ran awFay just in time
(My home, this place will never change. I know what's best. I just can't stay)
Tried to kGmill my desire, tried to hFold me here all of my life
(All these memories won't be erased, but it's time to make my own way)
SGmuddenly I saw everything that I never could have done with yFou here
[Chorus]
DEbon't turn around now there's no road back hGmome
(No fear to hold you back, just sFay you want it, say you want it more)
The brEbidges all burned down, everything you knGmow is lFost
Nobody Cmever leaves
But this town won't take the best of me
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
You drGmeam about (every hope) hidden away (but just below)
The sDmurface of your skin, so cFoarse but oh so thin
You're tGmerrified (of letting go)
Nothing is reaped until it's sown
No tDmime to give in this Fone life we live
MEboving forward Fis not failing
[Chorus]
DEbon't turn around now there's no road back hGmome
(No fear to hold you back, just sFay you want it, say you want it more)

Nobody Cmever leaves
But this town won't take the best of me

Key: Bb, with modulation to Eb in Bridge

[Verse 1]

Gm F

I found my fear in the ashes of this town as it burned

Gm F

When the smoke entered my lungs, I suffocated on lessons I learned

Gm F

Made it out of the fire, ran away just in time

(My home, this place will never change. I know what's best. I just can't stay)

Gm F

Tried to kill my desire, tried to hold me here all of my life

(All these memories won't be erased, but it's time to make my own way)

Gm F

Suddenly I saw everything that I never could have done with you here

[Chorus]

Eb Gm

Don't turn around now there's no road back home

(No fear to hold you back, just say you want it, say you want it more)

Eb Gm F

The bridges all burned down, everything you know is lost

Nobody ever leaves

But this town won't take the best of me

[Instrumental]

Eb Eb

////// //////

[Verse 2]

You dream about (every hope) hidden away (but just below)

Dm F

The surface of your skin, so coarse but oh so thin

You're terrified (of letting go)

Nothing is reaped until it's sown

Dm F

No time to give in this one life we live

Eb F

Moving forward is not failing

[Chorus]

Eb Gm

Don't turn around now there's no road back home

(No fear to hold you back, just say you want it, say you want it more)

Eb Gm F

The bridges all burned down, everything you know is lost

Nobody ever leaves

But this town won't take the best of me

[Instrumental]

Eb Bb Dm

////// ////// ////// //////

[Bridge]

When you feel your heart pumping in your chest

Bb Dm

And ignites the spark that you've always felt

Eb Bb Dm F

Do you trust yourself? Don't push those thoughts away

Can you feel the life flowing through your veins?

Bb Dm F

It never mattered what the voices say

Eb Gm

Life's not about how you fall

G Ab

(It's about how many times you can get up)

You made it this far with the courage you had

You carried the weight of it all

Every dead end just begins a new path

Ab Cm

Oh, the places we'll go
